Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In this study, we propose combining non-linear feature representations, namely Hurst Exponent, correlation dimension, and largest Lyapunov exponent, with TabNet, a novel attention-based neural network architecture, to perform EEG-based decoding of memory formation in single trials. Our results show that these combinations perform favourably when compared to current state-of-the-art approaches based on convolutional neural networks. Moreover, the interpretability of TabNet revealed that its feature selection for decision making is valid from a neurophysiological perspective, which is an advantage compared to other models.
